suntour xc comp or xc pro non-md rear mech

[drcarlos]

My current one has just stripped the top jockey bolt hole and thread on the bolt so I need a new one.

Thanks

Re:

Hello,

Why don't you try to use a new bolt with a thin nut on the other side?
My Campagnolo Victory derailleur also has a nut on the side of the spokes, if I remember well.

With suntour it's too close to the pivot and behind a cover.

Did you find anything Ian?

I found a very tasty long cage xc pro rear mech. Pretty tidy, minimal marking and still wearing the slightly gold finish. I was hanging on to it as an option for a build (md or non md, that is the question), as I've the rest of the he groupset as well. Suns like what you are after? I need to reconcile myself with selling though, as whilst I probably won't be building the pace anymore, I've not quite let it go yet.

Sounds nice if you decide to sell pm me a price please.

You should be able to just use the front cage part from any of the mechs in the XC range iirc. Certainly the Comp anyway.
Then just replace unbotl and replace.

I must admit, I thought that a cage swap would be cheaper than replacing the whole thing.
